Fri 29 Oct - 635 Stony Creek south to Pearisburg

Cold this morning - near freezing.  Stayed cold hiking on top of the ridge - in the 30s with 20+ mph wind.  Warmed up in the afternoon. 

It will be in the upper 20s tonight.  We sleep in the bunkhouse so, no heat.

Tough hike today - cold and long - about 20 miles in 10 hours.  Climbed up on the ridge first thing and followed it all day back to Pearisburg.

Hiked with Joel (McJeep) again today.  He is hiking separately tomorrow then driving back to New Jersey.   He has about 400 miles left to complete the AT.

Everyone here at the hostel had dinner at the Mexican restaurant in town tonight.  Neville got the night off.  Good food and a good time.
